Winters, Barack Obama and Margaret Hamilton are not eligible because of a school board policy in which “people who are either alive or who have been deceased for less than three years,” are not to be considered, school officials said.

Some names up for consideration are of historical figures like Harriet Tubman and Thurgood Marshall. Other submissions had a more local connection like Aris T. Allen, one of the first African American doctors with admitting privileges at what was then Annapolis General Hospital. He later was the first black man elected to a state legislative position.

Another name was Sara V. Jones, who as the head of schools for black students during the segregation era, was the first African American superintendent of county schools.

The eligible names will be voted on at a meeting at Crofton Middle School at 6:30 p.m. Monday, and then be sent to the board. Principal Kathryn Feuerherd will also go over her vision for the school with members of the public.
